From Thread 154:

Um, angelo? Vmatt has a direct line to both gods. Don't forget.

LOL! I did forget. Thanks for the clarification. ;o)

Will you affirm for me that Latin was not a dead language, was in fact the common language of literacy, when the Bible was translated into it?

Yes I will. Not only that, but it was of course not necessary to translate the Bible into Greek. There was already the Septuagint, and the Christian scriptures were written in Greek. So between the Greek and the Latin versions, any literate person in and near the Roman Empire would be able to read the scriptures in their common tongue.

Thank you. Certain people complain about Catholics not wanting to admit when they are wrong, and I can't get any non-Catholics to admit this simple fact.

THR 155,Post 3 About Greek/Latin Scriptures
Actually, OPINION HERE, The Latin Vulgate was produced to be READ to the "common people", the ones who could,nt read Greek or Latin, but could understand Latin when they heard it . That's why it was called the vulgate ,IMVHO
